The ideal candidate will be responsible for rapidly conceptualizing, generating, and crafting high-quality advertising and social content using emerging generative AI workflows. This position requires a strong understanding of both the creative and technical aspects of AI-driven production, the ability to work quickly under tight deadlines, and a talent for delivering polished, brand-safe, and human-centric creative content. The role is collaborative, working alongside Creative Directors, Producers, Strategists, and Client teams to bring campaigns to life across various channels.

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on mastery of top-tier generative models (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, Veo, Sora, LTX, ElevenLabs) and upscaling tools (e.g., Topaz Video AI).
• Experience with directing and/or cinematography, including understanding of lighting, framing, and lens selection to guide and elevate AI generations.
• High taste level and strong editorial judgment across pacing, performance, composition, sound, and emotional storytelling.
• Experience creating both punchy, social-first content and highly polished, nuanced campaign creative.
• Ability to balance speed, experimentation, and production realities while maintaining top-tier quality.
• Highly organized, reliable, and communicative.
• Comfortable operating independently while seamlessly integrating into collaborative agency workflows and troubleshooting the unpredictability of AI outputs.

Nice To Haves

• Exceptional sound design capabilities (SFX and Foley) to bring silent AI video generations to life and ground them in reality.
• Ability to seamlessly match disparate AI shots and live-action footage.
• Experience with node-based AI interfaces (like ComfyUI), local model running, or custom model training.
• Ability to design and animate custom typography, transitions, and graphic overlays (e.g., in After Effects) that seamlessly integrate with generative footage to deliver dynamic, fully branded campaigns.

Responsibilities

• Translate strategic briefs, concepts, or scripts into visually compelling concepts and executions using AI-assisted workflows.
• Generate and iterate creative directions quickly for internal and client review, adapting to feedback.
• Use AI-powered tools to create, edit, color-grade, and sound-design high-quality video content across a variety of formats.
• Blend AI-generated assets with live-action, motion graphics, stock footage, VO, music, and sound design to create a unified aesthetic.
• Ensure all edits are broadcast-ready or social-ready, carefully managing AI artifacts and maintaining visual consistency.
• Maintain awareness of licensing, IP, likeness usage, and platform-specific considerations related to generative AI content.
• Help establish best practices and realistic expectations around AI-assisted production capabilities, timelines, and outputs.
• Collaborate effectively with agency creative, strategy, production, and account teams in a fast-moving, integrated environment.
